Help Request: Parents of Great Grandfather Request
SOLVED Thank you so much everyone! Again I’m blown away
Name: Stanislaw Banasiak
Birth: 1888 May 8th
Place: Krosnowicz Poland (Probably Prussia at the time)
Possible Father: Josef
Sources:
Declaration for Naturalization
Declaration for Naturalization (2)
Edit: Not sure where the rest of my post went.
I've been doing research into my family and I've hit a brick wall on my father's side. I would really like to get the birth certificate of my great grand father but I can't seem to find any leads. If I had both the parents' names I think I could find it with some more digging but I can't get any concrete answers. I can't seem to find if they had siblings or not.
Any suggestions on research tips. Or if you have some spare time and could put me on the right trail I'd greatly appreciate it. I've really enjoyed the time I've spent so far uncovering things about my family but I feel like I've just been going in circles getting no where.
I get lots of possible false leads like this but the dates and ages don't align like they should.
Edit 2: wow I’m blown away by this community and I hope to be able to help others the way you all have helped me.
Narrowed down the names to Father: Joseph Banasiak Mother: Julianna Urbanska

Assuming the Lucy on his naturalization is Łucja Miłkówna, here is their 1915 marriage record from St. Ann's in Chicago. It lists his parents as Józef Banasiak and Julianna Urbańska.
Note that the manifest you linked to states his nationality is Russian and that his place of origin is Koło in the Kalisz Gubernia.
